Figure 18 depicts the calculating equipment 102 with the support component 110 in position 1800.In at least some embodiments In, position 1800 corresponds to the closed position of support component 110, such as above with reference to the orientation 400 of Fig. 4 discussion.Further solution The cross-sectional side view 1802 for calculating equipment 102 is said, which is attached to hinge including in the close position The support component 110 of 1100 cam 1104.Sectional view 1802 is for example corresponding to the section 1704 explained above.It is cutd open in the part In the subsequent view presented in face Figure 180 2 and subsequent drawings, hinge 1100 is shown as with support component 110 and calculates Each section of the rear surface 112 of equipment 102, but the other parts without calculating equipment 102.
In sectional view 1802, cam 1104 is longitudinally splitted downwards along center, and thus cam 1104 is solved The section said illustrates the surface profile of inner cam surface 1400, such as introduced above.Cam follower 1106 is also by The heart is longitudinally splitted downwards, and thus the section of cam follower 1106 explained illustrates the table on interior driven member surface 1602 Facial contour.
In position 1800, cam follower 1106 is held against cam 1104 by the power applied by hinge spring 1110 On.In addition, the interaction between cam follower 1106 and cam 1104 is so that the movement of support component 110 is resisted.Example Such as, cam ring contact 1804 is pressed against on interior driven member surface 1602, and hinge spring 1110 resist cam follower 1106 from Moving in rotation on moving part pivot 1502.As a result, in the case where lacking the power that user applies to support component 110, from convex Support component 110 in the close position is held against calculating equipment by the pressure against cam 1104 of wheel driven member 1106 102。
Figure 19 depicts the calculating equipment 102 with the support component 110 in position 1800, such as introduced above.Into One step illustrates the cross-sectional side view 1902 for calculating equipment 102, which includes in the close position be attached to The support component 110 of the cam 1104 of hinge 1100.Sectional view 1902 is for example corresponding to the section 1702 explained above.
What is explained as the part of sectional view 1902 is outer driven member surface 1604 and the cam of cam follower 1106 1104 outer cam surface 1402.As indicated, outer driven member surface 1604 does not contact in position 1800 (such as closed position) Outer cam surface 1402.
Figure 20 describes the support component 110 in position 2000.In at least some embodiments, position 2000 corresponds to First preset opened position of support component 110, such as with reference to the position 500 of Fig. 5 explanation.Further illustrate calculating equipment 102 cross-sectional side view 2002, the calculating equipment 102 include the cam for being attached to hinge 1100 in the first open position 1104 support component 110.Sectional view 2002 is for example corresponding to the section 1704 explained in Figure 17.
According to each realization, movement of the support component 110 from position 1800 to position 2000 is initially by coming from interior driven member It is resisted against the pressure of cam ring contact 1804 on surface 1602.However, when cam ring contact 1804 movement travel in When driven member point 2004, the pressure against cam ring contact 1804 from interior driven member surface 1602 arrives the driving of cam 1104 Position 2000.For example, if user starts to open support component 110 from position 1800, but got in the traveling of interior cam contact 1804 Support component 110 is discharged before crossing interior driven member point 2004, then cam 1104 and thus occlusion is returned to and closed by support component 110 Coincidence is set in (for example, position 1800).
However, if user manipulates support component 110 and cam ring contact 1804 is made to travel over interior driven member point 2004, Then the driving of cam 1104 is arrived position 2000 (for example, first dozen by the pressure against cam 1104 from cam follower 1106 Open position).For example, if user discharges support component after interior cam contact 1804 travels over interior driven member point 2004 110, then cam 1104 (and support component 110 in turn) will snap into position 2000.
According to each realization, hinge 1100 has the rotation center 2006 external in hinge itself.For example, the center of rotation 2006 closing line 502 substantially between support component 110 and the fixed part for the rear surface 112 for calculating equipment 102 is overlapped. Moreover, at least some realizations, when hinge 1100 is relocated in various preset opened positions described herein, rotation The center 2006 turned is consistent (such as not changing).This makes support component 110 be able to maintain that consistent rotation distribution, and So that the width of closing line 502 maintains base during rotating among the different predeterminated positions that support component 110 discusses herein (for example, within +/- 0.050 millimeter) is consistent on this.
Figure 21 depicts the calculating equipment 102 with the support component 110 in position 2000, such as introduced above.Into one Step illustrates the cross-sectional side view 2100 for calculating equipment 102, which is attached to hinge including in an open position The support component 110 of the cam 1104 of chain 1100.Sectional view 2100 is for example corresponding to the section 1702 explained above.According to each reality It is existing, sectional view 2002 (more than) and sectional view 2100 illustrate the difference of the same position (for example, position 2000) of hinge 1100 Section.
The outer cam surface 1402 of cam 1104 and the outer driven member of cam follower 1106 are illustrated in sectional view 2100 Surface 1604.Further illustrate the outer cam surface engaged with the first driven member fastener 2104 on outer driven member surface 1604 The first cam fastener 2102 on 1402.In general, the first cam fastener 2102 and the first driven member fastener 2104 respectively indicate Surface characteristics in outer cam surface 1402 and outer driven member surface 1604.
According to each realization, the engagement of the first cam fastener 2102 and the first driven member fastener 2104 is so that support component 110 It can be remained permanently in position 2000.For example, the spring pressure from hinge spring 1110 keeps the first cam fastener 2102 Against the first driven member fastener 2104.In at least some realizations, do not applying to support component 110 directly and/or indirectly External force in the case where, the first cam fastener 2102 would not depart from the first driven member fastener 2104.
For example, hinge 1100 is constructed such that unless specified threshold power is applied in support component 110, otherwise hinge 1100 would not depart from position 2000.In at least some realizations, closed in one direction more than the threshold value against support component 110 Resultant force is closed support component, and to support more than the threshold value opening force against support component 110 in another direction Component 110 is further opened and crosses position 2000.
According to one or more realize, when hinge 1100 be in from closed position 1800 until open position 2000 it Between position in when, contact between cam 1104 and cam follower 1106 occurs in inner cam surface 1400 and interior driven member Between surface 1602.For example, for from 0 degree (such as position 1800) for the support component angular range of position 2000, Outer cam surface 1402 does not contact outer driven member surface 1604.
However, since position 2000 and proceed to further open position (such as those discussed below position), it is convex Contact between wheel 1104 and cam follower 1106 is converted to outer cam surface 1402 and outer driven member surface 1604.At these In further open position, for example, inner cam surface 1400 is remotely located from and does not contact interior driven member surface 1602.This Sample, as described herein, the responsiveness of the hinge 1100 between at least some positions is based on different cam and cam follower Which the surface profile on surface and change also based on being engaged on specific location surface.
Although in this discuss is to be in reference to specific outer driven member surface 1604 and specific outer cam surface 1402 Existing, it will be understood that, according to various realizations, similar feature and interaction are applied to other outer driven member surfaces and external cam Surface.
Figure 22 depicts the side with the hinge 1100 for being attached to cam 1104 and the support component 110 in position 2000 View 2200, it is such as introduced above.Side view 2200 shows the cam pin 2202 being positioned in cam 1104 and is positioned in The side view of plate pin 2204b in support plate 1108b.Described further below, cam pin 2202 is located so that it and plate Pin 2204b is engageable to allow cam 1104 and support plate 1108a, the engagement of 1108b.
Figure 23 depicts the diagonal line section 2300 of the hinge 1100 in position 2000 introduced above.It wraps in section 2300 Include hinge mount 1102, cam 1104 and support plate 1108a, 1108b.Further illustrate the cam pin being located in cam 1104 2202, in the plate pin 2204a in the support plate 1108a and plate pin 2204b in support plate 1108b.Plate pin 2204a is positioned It is slidable in the plate chamber 2302a in support plate 1108a, and in plate chamber 2302a.Plate pin 2204b is positioned in branch It in plate chamber 2302b in fagging 1108b, and is slidable in plate chamber 2302b.Being positioned in plate chamber 2302a is Spring 2304 is sold, the spring force of abutment plate pin 2204a is provided.
In at least some realizations, plate pin 2204a, 220b and cam pin 2202 are cylindrical.However, this not purport Be defined, and one or more of plate pin 2204a, 2204b and cam pin 2202 can be used it is any suitable Shape and/or form factor are realized.
Section 2300 also shows the longitudinal axis 2306 and horizontal axis of hinge 1100.In general, length of the longitudinal axis along hinge mount 1102 Distribution, and horizontal axis is along the width of hinge mount 1102.According to various realizations, the movement of the various assemblies of hinge 1000 can refer to this A little axis describe to orient.For example, during the opening and closing of hinge 1100, cam 1104 and support plate 1108a, 1108b phase The longitudinal axis 2306 is pivoted.Moreover, and as described below, the movement of cam pin 2202 and plate pin 2204a, 2204b and horizontal axis 2308 be in the same direction (such as axial).
Figure 24 depicts the fragmentary rear elevation view 2400 of the calculating equipment 102 with the support component 110 in position 2000. The rearview 2400 depicts at least some realizations, and when support component is moved to position 2000, still recess exists Support plate 1108a, 1108b in hinge mount 1102 and cam 1104 rotates out of hinge mount 1102.However, this is not intended to carry out Limitation, and in response to the movement of cam 1104, such as due to connecing between cam tracks 1302 and cam channel 1404 Touching, support plate 1108 can move.
Figure 25 depicts the support component 110 in position 2500.In at least some embodiments, position 2500 corresponds to Second preset opened position of support component 110, such as with reference to the position 600 of Fig. 6 explanation.Such as group will be supported in response to user Part 110 is further opened and crosses position 2000 introduced above, and support component 110 is placed in position 2500.Further solution The cross-sectional side view 2502 for calculating equipment 102 is said, which includes being attached to hinge in the first open position The support component 110 of the cam 1104 of chain 1100.Sectional view 2502 is for example corresponding to the section 1702 explained above.
According to each realization, movement of the support component 110 from position 2000 to position 2500 initially by come since first from The pressure against the first cam fastener 2102 of moving part fastener 2104 is resisted.However, when the movement of the first cam fastener 2102 When travelling over outer driven member point 2504, the pressure against the first cam fastener 2102 from outer driven member surface 1604 will be convex Position 2500 is arrived in 1104 driving of wheel.In position 2500, the first cam fastener 2102 is engaged with the second driven member fastener 2506.
For example, if user starts that support component 110 is opened for further crossing position 2000, but in the first cam button Part 2102 discharges support component 110, then cam 1104 and thus support component 110 before travelling over outer driven member point 2504 Snapped back into place is set in 2000.However, making the first cam fastener when the movement of support component 110 travels over position 2000 2102 when travelling over outer driven member point 2504, cam 1104 and thus support component 110 will be snapped in position 2500.Example Such as, consider that user discharges support group when the first cam fastener is between outer driven member point 2504 and the second driven member fastener 2506 Part 110.In this case, the slope profile on outer driven member surface 1604 and (is provided by hinge spring 1110) to come from The pressure of external cam driven member 1604 is independently of (such as user the apply) power externally applied by cam 1104 and thus Position 2500 is arrived in the driving of support component 110.
According to each realization, the engagement of the first cam fastener 2102 and the second driven member fastener 2506 is so that support component 110 It can be remained permanently in position 2500.For example, the spring pressure from hinge spring 1110 keeps the second driven member fastener 2506 against the first cam fastener 2101, and thus avoid cam 1104 and in turn support component 110 from position 2500 be detached from, Unless applying enough external force.In this way, in the case where the power not applied to support component 110 directly and/or indirectly, first Cam fastener 2102 would not depart from the second driven member fastener 2506.
For example, hinge 1100 is constructed such that unless specified threshold power is applied in support component 110, otherwise hinge 1100 would not depart from position 2500.In at least some realizations, to support more than the threshold value closing force against support component 110 Component 110 is transferred back to position 2000, and more than the threshold value opening force against support component 110 that support component 110 is further Opening crosses position 2500.
Pay attention in position 2500, the second cam fastener 2508 is engaged with the cam stop part 2510 of support plate 1108.Such as Be described in detail further below, the engagement of the second cam fastener 2508 and cam stop part 2510 allow the movement of support plate 1108 with Support more open positions of support component 110.
Figure 26 depicts the support component 110 in position 2500, such as introduced above.Further illustrate calculating equipment 102 cross-sectional side view 2600, the calculating equipment 102 include the cam for being attached to hinge 1100 in the second open position 1104 support component 110.Sectional view 2600 is for example corresponding to the section 1704 explained in Figure 17.
When sectional view 2600 depicts support component 110 and is in position 2500, inner cam surface 1400 not with interior driven member Surface 1602 contacts.As described above, cam 1104 and cam follower in each open position after open position 2000 Contact between 1106 appears in (to be shown) in other attached drawings between outer cam surface 1402 and outer driven member surface 1604, and And it is not present between inner cam surface 1400 and interior driven member surface 1602.
Figure 27 depicts the side with the hinge 1100 for being attached to cam 1104 and the support component 110 in position 2500 View 2700, it is such as introduced above.Side view 2700 shows the side view for the plate pin 2204b being located in support plate 1108b.Such as Under be described in further detail, in position 2500, cam pin 2202 (being not shown here) is engaged with plate pin 2204b.

Figure 30 depicts the support component 110 in position 3000.In at least some embodiments, position 3000 corresponds to First preset opened position of support component 110, the position 800 such as explained with reference to Fig. 8 a.Such as it will be supported in response to user Component 110 is further opened and crosses position 2500 introduced above, and support component 110 is placed in position 3000.Further The cross-sectional side view 3002 for calculating equipment 102 is illustrated, which includes being attached in third open position The support component 110 of the cam 1104 of hinge 1100.Sectional view 3002 is for example corresponding to the section 1702 explained in Figure 17.
According to each realization, movement of the support component 110 from position 2500 to position 3000 initially by come since second from The pressure against the first cam fastener 2102 of moving part fastener 2506 is resisted.However, when the movement of the first cam fastener 2102 When travelling over outer driven member point 3004, the pressure against the first cam fastener 2102 from outer driven member surface 1604 will be convex Position 3000 is arrived in 1104 driving of wheel.In position 3000, the first cam fastener 2102 is engaged with outer driven member surface 1604.
For example, if user starts that support component 110 is opened for further crossing position 2500, but in the first cam button Part 2102 discharges support component 110, then cam 1104 and thus support component 110 before travelling over outer driven member point 3004 Occlusion is returned in position 2500.However, making the first cam fastener when the movement of support component 110 travels over position 2500 2102 when travelling over outer driven member point 3004, cam 1104 and thus support component 110 will be snapped in position 3000.Example Such as, consider that user discharges support component 110 when the first cam fastener 2102 crosses outer driven member point 3004.In such situation Under, the slope profile on outer driven member surface 1604 and (is provided by hinge spring 1110) to support from outer driven member surface 1604 By the first cam fastener 2102 pressure independently of (such as user the apply) power externally applied by cam 1104 and by Position 3000 is arrived in the driving of this support component 110.
For example, hinge 1100 is constructed such that unless specified threshold power is applied in support component 110, otherwise hinge 1100 would not depart from position 3000.
It further illustrates when being moved to position 3000 from position 2500, the second cam fastener 2508 and cam stop part 2510 engagement is so that support plate 1108a rotates together with cam 1104.In general, the movement of support plate 1108a, 1108b Hinge 1100 is enabled to provide stability to support component 110 when being opened to each open position.
Figure 31 depicts the support component 110 in position 3000 such as introduced above.Further illustrate calculating equipment 102 cross-sectional side view 3100, the calculating equipment 102 include the cam for being attached to hinge 1100 in third open position 1104 support component 110.Sectional view 3100 is for example corresponding to the section 1700 explained in Figure 17.
Such as herein explain, in position 3000, support plate 1108b is partly prominent from hinge mount 1102.Support Plate 1108b is to the support that the movement of position 3000 is for example based on panel guide 1204 and support plate 1108b in hinge mount 1102 Docking between channel 1306.Moreover, the board fastener 3102 of support plate 1108b is contacted with the driven member of cam follower 1106 3104 engagements.Board fastener 3102, for example, indicating the raised portion of the outer rim of support plate 1108b.According to various realizations, board fastener 3102 engagements that 3104 are contacted with driven member provide the resistance to the support plate 1108b just rotated towards another open position Power, unless enough power is applied to support component 110.
For example, the engagement that board fastener 3102 contacts 3104 with driven member allows support component 110 that can be remained permanently in position Set 3000.Spring pressure from hinge spring 1110 for example keeps driven member contact 3104 against board fastener 3102, and this Sample avoids support plate 1108b and support component 110 is detached from from position 3000 in turn, unless being applied with enough external force.
Figure 32 depicts the side with the hinge 1100 for being attached to cam 1104 and the support component 110 in position 3000 View 3200, it is such as introduced above.Side view 3200 shows the side view for the plate pin 2204b being located in support plate 1108b.Such as Under be described in further detail, in position 3000, cam pin 2202 is engaged with plate pin 2204b.Side view 3200 is also shown and cam The board fastener 3102 of 2104 engagement of driven member contact of driven member 1106.
As further described in Figure 32, the second cam fastener 2508 is engaged with cam stop part 2510, as described above. According to various realizations, this engagement allows pin described herein to keep alignment when hinge is opened and surmounted from position 2500, such as Under be described in further detail.
Figure 33 depicts the partial cross section 3300 of the hinge 1100 in position 3000 introduced above.Section 3300 includes Hinge mount 1102, cam 1104 and support plate 1108a, 1108b.In position 3000, plate pin 2204b, cam pin 2202 and Plate pin 2204a is aligned, such as is axially aligned.Moreover, support plate 1108b is spun out from hinge mount 1102 far makes plate enough 2204b is sold to be detached from from siding track 2802.Siding track 2802 is for example not limited in the lateral of the plate pin 2204b in position 3000 and moves It is dynamic.Therefore, plate pin 2204a is pressed against cam pin 2202 by the spring pressure for carrying out self-marketing spring 2304, this applies pressure in turn and supports Backup plate pin 2204a.Because plate pin 2204a is no longer limited by siding track 2802, plate pin 2204a is slided in plate chamber 2302b, this permits Perhaps cam pin 2202 slides laterally relative to cam 1104, and plate pin 2204a is allowed to slide in plate chamber 2302a.In general, plate Sell 2204a, 2204b and cam pin 2202 relative to hinge mount 1102 laterally (it is i.e. parallel in the same direction and/or with horizontal axis 2308 and It is normal (orthogonal) with the longitudinal axis 2306) sliding.Moreover, during the opening and closing of hinge 1100, cam 1104 and support Plate 1108a, 1108b are pivoted relative to the longitudinal axis 2306 and are rotated relative to horizontal axis 2308.
The sliding of different pins is paid attention to so that cam pin 2202 is engaged in plate chamber 2302b inner part, and makes plate pin 2204a It is engaged in 1104 inner part of cam.Moreover, plate pin 2204b not exclusively slides out from plate chamber 2302b, but pass through plunger 3302 It prevents from exiting from plate chamber 2302b completely, the plunger 3302 is engaged with the narrow portion of plate chamber 2302b.As indicated, plunger 3302 compares The exterior section of plate chamber 2302b is wider, and therefore avoids plate pin 2204b disengaging plate chamber 2302b.
In general, cam 1104 is tied to support plate 1108a, 1108b by the engagement of this various pins, so that cam 1104 is got over The further opening for crossing position 3000 experienced the movement of support plate 1108a, 1108b together with cam 1104.Such as to support The resistance of the movement of plate 1108a, 1108b produces the corresponding resistance of the movement to cam 1104, because cam 1104 passes through Plate pin 2204a and cam pin 2202 and support plate 1108a, 1108b are physically interlocked.
Note that the interior surface of the neighbouring support plate 1108b of siding track 2802 is intilted.In general, working as hinge 1100 when pivoting back to closed position from position 3000, and plate pin 2204b is pushed inwardly into plate chamber by the inclined surface of siding track 2802 In 2302b.Plate pin 2204b applies corresponding inward pressure against cam pin 2202, and pressure application is abutted to plate in turn by this Sell 2204a.When hinge is pivoted back to position 2500, cam pin 2202 from support plate 1108b be detached from, and plate pin 2204a from Cam 1104 is detached from.In general, this disengaging is described in Figure 28.
Figure 34 depicts the fragmentary rear elevation view 3400 of the calculating equipment 102 with the support component 110 in position 3000. Rearview 3400 depicts in position 3000, and support plate 1108a, 1108b is partly prominent from hinge mount 1102.
Figure 35 depicts the side view of the calculating equipment 102 with the support component 110 in position 3500.At least one In a little embodiments, position 3500 corresponds to the 4th preset opened position of support component 110, the position such as explained with reference to Fig. 8 b 810.Such as support component 110 is further opened in response to user and crosses position 3000 introduced above, 110 quilt of support component It is placed in position 3500.
Figure 35 is further depicted with the hinge 1100 for being attached to cam 1104 and the support component 110 in position 3500 Side view 3502.Side view 3502 shows the side view for the plate pin 2204b being located in support plate 1108b.In position 3500 In, cam pin 2202 is engaged with support plate 1108b, and plate pin 2204a is engaged with cam 1104.One example of this engagement is retouched It draws above with reference to described in Figure 33.In general, the engagement of this various pins component different from hinge 1100 is by cam 1104 and support Plate 1108a, 1108b interlocking, in this way, cam 1104, which pivots away from position 3500 just, experienced the phase of support plate 1108a, 1108b It should move.
Side view 3502 also shows the plate retainer on the support plate 1108b for contacting 3104 engagements with driven member 3504.Plate retainer 3504, for example, indicating the recess in the surface of the outer rim of support plate 1108b.In general, coming from hinge spring For 1110 spring pressure applied force against cam follower 1106, driven member contact 3104 is maintained at plate retainer 3504 by this It is interior.
According to each realization, movement of the support component 110 from position 3000 to position 3500 from driven member initially by connecing Touching 3104 is resisted against the pressure of board fastener 3102.However, the movement when board fastener 3102 relative to driven member contact 3104 When travelling over the fastener point 3506 on board fastener 3102, from driven member contact 3104 against the oblique back side of board fastener 3102 Pressure-driven support plate 1108b is to position 3500.As detailed above, the engagement of various pins component different from hinge 1000 is by cam 1104 interlock with support plate 1108a, 1108b.In this way, cam 1104 and attached support component 110 are by along support plate 1108a, 1108b drive to position 3500.
For example, if user starts to be opened for support component 110 further to cross position 3000, but in board fastener 3102 Travel over relative to driven member contact 3104 fastener point 3506 before discharge support component 110, then support plate 1108b and And then cam 1104 and support component 110 set snapped back into place in 3000.However, the mobile traveling when support component 110 is got over Cross position 3000 make board fastener 3102 travel over relative to driven member contact 3104 fastener point 3506 when, support plate 1108b and thus cam 1104 and support component 110 will be snapped in position 3500.For example, it is contemplated that when fastener point 3506 is got over It crosses and contacts 3104 users when contacting with driven member and discharge support component 110.In this case, the back side of board fastener 3102 Slope profile makes and (is provided by hinge spring 1110) inclined surface for contacting 3104 against board fastener 3102 from driven member Pressure independently of (such as user the apply) power externally applied by support plate 1108b and thus cam 1104 and support Position 3500 is arrived in the driving of component 110.
For example, hinge 1100 is constructed such that unless specified threshold power is applied in support component 110, otherwise hinge 1100 would not depart from position 3000.
As depicted in figure 35, in position 3500, cam 1104 does not contact cam follower 1106.However, convex Wheel 1104 is engaged by one or more pins with one or more support plates 1108a, 1108b, as described above.In this way, passing through pin Interlocking mechanism provided by interaction with the various assemblies of hinge 1100 allows through support plate 1108a, 1108b and cam The interaction distribution of torque generated of driven member 1106 affects the movement of cam 1104, and thus allows cam 1104 The angle that cam 1104 cannot be engaged directly with cam follower 1106 is opened to attached support component 110.
In at least some realizations, position 3500 is considered the maximum of support component 110 in normal operation condition Open position.For example, torque needed for hinge-opening 1100 further crosses position 3500 is noticeably greater than hinge 1100 from closing Coincidence is set be opened to above-mentioned various other open positions needed for torque.As explained further below, hinge 1100 is mobile It is possible for crossing position 3500, but is considered as a kind of preventing when additional power is applied to support component 110 to support The emergency escape option of the destruction of component 110.
Figure 36 depicts the support component 110 in position 3600.Position 3600 for example indicates support component 110 from fully closed Coincidence sets (for example, from position 1800 discussed above) and has rotated about 180 degree (+/- 10 °).In at least some embodiments, Position 3600 corresponds to emergency escape position, which is provided to prevent to support component 110 and/or other groups The destruction of part.For example, support component 110 to cross position 3500 (for example, the 4th preset opened position) discussed above into The rotation of one step open position is not considered as normal operating condition.However, such rotation can be for example in response to various things Part is not intended to occur.
For example, it is contemplated that calculate equipment 102 be just disposed along with the support component in the position 3500 desk or other On surface.User can by accident place the object of such as book etc on computing device 102, and enough power is applied to branch by this On support component 110, so that 110 disengaging configuration 3500 of support component and being rotated in place 3600.In general, making support component 110 be rotated in place 3600 from position 3500 needed for power be noticeably greater than and between other open positions discussed above change institute The power needed.
The side view 3602 of the hinge 1100 in position 3600 is further illustrated in Figure 36, hinge 1100 includes hinge Frame 1102, cam 1104, cam follower 1106 and support plate 1108.In position 3600, cam 1104 is detached from cam follower 1106, even and if support plate 1108 holding engaged with cam follower 1106 to allow hinge 1100 in emergency escape occasion It can also act as integrated and interconnection mechanism.Discussed further below, this, which enables a user to enough the smallest effort, makes support group Part 110 returns to operating position (for example, one of preset opened position discussed above).For example, user can be in direction 3604 It is middle to 110 applied force of support component to allow support component 110 back to above-mentioned one or more positions.
When hinge 1100 is in position 3600, plate pin 2204a, 2204b and cam pin 2202 are kept as described above Engagement.It experienced support plate 1108a, 1108b and cam 1104 together in this way, support component 110 is closed from position 3600 It is mobile.When the closure of hinge 1100 is converted to position 2500 from position 3000, plate pin 2204a, 2204b and cam pin 2202 It is pushed inwardly, and cam pin 2202 is detached from from support plate 1108b in turn, and plate pin 2204a is detached from from cam 1104.This permits Perhaps cam 1104 marches to closed position in the case where not carrying out the resistance of self-supporting slab 1108a, 1108b.
